Multi-channel surround sound from a single speaker

Yamaha's YSP-4100 gives you an easy way to get wraparound home theater sound in just about any room. This slim sound bar speaker uses sophisticated internal processing to direct sound beams off your walls, creating an effect that's similar to having seven speakers set up in your room. If you have a Blu-ray player, you can hook it up to the '4100 and enjoy the cutting-edge soundtracks found on today's Blu-ray Discs. And built-in wireless technology gives you a convenient way to connect your iPod® or iPhone® and listen to your tunes through the sound bar.

The YSP-4100 has 40 beam drivers and two woofers to create engaging, wraparound home theater sound.

Breakthrough surround sound technology

Choose from a number of sound modes, depending on your listening preference.

The YSP-4100 creates three-dimensional surround sound without the need for rear speakers. Versatile Yamaha processing and built-in amplification team up with a sophisticated driver array  42 speakers, in all  to beam the sound exactly where it needs to go. The result? Room-filling home theater audio from a single sleek component.

Helpful wireless conveniences

Connect the included wireless transmitter to your compatible iPod® or iPhone®, and you can play your tunes on the system without any docks or cables. What's more, your iPod or iPhone becomes a "remote" for the system, giving you easy access not only to your songs, but also volume and power on/off controls. The Digital Sound Projector also comes with a wireless subwoofer interface that makes setup more convenient. No matter what powered subwoofer you use, this wireless interface means you can place it where it sounds best in your room, without having to run a cable to the sound bar.

Connect all your home theater gear

The Digital Sound Projector includes built-in amplification and processing, so you won't need a receiver or amp. Just connect your Blu-ray player, cable box, or other audio/video components directly to the '4100 for enveloping sound. You can even hook up four of your sources using "full HD" 1080p HDMI connections. Plus, the '4100 can upconvert analog sources to near-HD quality and send those higher-resolution signals to your TV via HDMI.

Accurate sound, tailored to your room

A user-friendly calibration system ensures hassle-free setup. Just plug in the included microphone and place it in your favorite listening spot. In less than three minutes, the Digital Sound Projector automatically optimizes itself to give you the best, most convincing sound for your specific room. You can wall-mount the '4100 below a flat-panel TV using the
optional bracket, or set it on a shelf or table.

Product Highlights:

surround sound from a single amplified speaker  ideal for TVs 37" and up

Sound bar speakers: room-filling sound with less clutter

Add big sound to your TV without a roomful of speakers. Sound bars require minimal space and wiring, and their sleek designs complement today's flat-panel TVs. Most sound bars have their own built-in amplification, so you won't need to use a home theater receiver. Some models use advanced surround processing and carefully aimed speaker drivers to simulate the effects of a full home theater audio system.

Features

Digital Sound Projector: The Yamaha Digital Sound Projector technology
allows a single "sound bar" unit to control and steer multiple channels of sound
to generate multi-channel surround sound, all without the need for satellite
speakers and cables. The YSP-4100 has multiple audio and video inputs, including
4 HDMI inputs and one output, and a wireless iPod dock. You can add a powered
subwoofer using the supplied Wireless Subwoofer Kit or the wired preamp output.

3D Capable: Through a firmware update (version 7.03), 3D
video pass-through and ARC (Audio Return Channel) capability can be added for
the HDMI connectors. In order to install the firmware update into the YSP-4100,
you will need a computer capable of burning an audio CD, and a Blu-ray, DVD, or
CD player with an optical or coaxial digital audio connection (a CD player is
preferred).

Beam Modes: The five beams (channels) offer several settings to best
suit the environment:

Beam Modes for 5.1 Channels:

5 Beam:
typical surround with five full range channels

Stereo + 3 Beam:
left and right stereo, plus center channel and left and right surround
channels, ideal for live concert DVDs to narrow the stage but keep the depth
and reflections of the venue

3 Beam:
outputs only the left, right, and center channels, widens the ideal
listening area. Surround right and left channels are mixed into the front
right and left channels.

Beam Modes for 7.1 Channels:

5 BeamPlus2: outputs sound beams from the front right
and left, center, and surround back right and left channels. The surround
right and left channels are mixed into the front right and left and surround
back right and left channels.

Stereo + 3 BeamPlus 2: left and right stereo, plus
center and surround back right and left channels. The surround right and
left channels are mixed into the front right and left and surround back
right and left channels.

3 Beam: outputs only the left, right, and center
channels. Surround right and left channels and surround back right and left
channels are mixed into the front right and left channels.

Stereo:

Surround Formats: The YSP-4100
offers the following digital and analog Surround Modes for movies and music:

Game: suitable for adventure and role-playing games,
representing the depth and spatial feeling of the field of play while
offering movie-like surround effects.

Mch Stereo: downmixes multi-channel sources to 2 channels,
and outputs the sound from all speakers.

Compressed Music Enhancer: Sophisticated digital signal
processing and exclusive algorithms regenerate the harmonics missing from compressed
music (MP3, WMA, AAC, etc). Highs and lows become richer and smoother, and
music is restored to as close to the original as possible.

Automatic Setup: This unit
employs IntelliBeam, a combination of beam optimization and sound optimization.
These two processes help you
automatically achieve very accurate sound adjustments. Using the supplied
Optimizer Microphone, IntelliBeam performs the following checks and makes appropriate
adjustments to give you the best possible sound from your system:

Manual Beam Setup: In addition to the auto setup, you can manually fine tune the beam
outputs:

Setting Parameters

Position: flat to wall or angled

Installed Height: between 0 to 10 feet

Room Configuration:
enter length and width of room

Distance Settings: distance from the unit to left wall, and distance from speaker to listening
position

Beam Adjustment:

Horizontal Angle:
set the the horizontal angle of the listening position relative to the
center of the speaker, this adjusts the angle of each beam to best match
your listening position

Vertical Angle: set the the vertical angle to best match your
listening height, relative to the speaker

Beam Travel Length:
total travel distance from speaker to reflecting surface to ear for each
beam

Focal Length:
distance from the speaker to the focal point of each beam (where the
speaker would be if you had five separate speakers)

Image Location:

if they sound unnatural

Sound Setup: In addition to the auto setup, sound
adjustments can be made manually. The menu allows you to adjust the bass and
treble, indicate the presence (or lack) of a subwoofer, adjust audio delay and
lip sync, and Dynamic Range Control.

Memory: The YSP-4100 has three memory
registers to save the beam and sound settings for easy recall. This is useful
for saving settings under varying conditions (curtains open, curtains closed,
etc).

Turn On Volume:
You can program the volume setting at
which the unit plays when it is first turned on.

OSD:
The on screen display (OSD) is output only through the composite video jack (not
through the HDMI output). It is designed to help during the initial setup of
your system.

SIRIUS Satellite Ready: You
can listen to SIRIUS Satellite Radio by connecting the SiriusConnect Tuner (item number
607SCH1) to the proprietary plug on the rear panel. A 50' extension cable
(item number 220SIRXT50) is
available if the Home Kit's 20.75' cable is not long enough. During SIRIUS playback,
you can display the channel number and name, category, or artist name and song
title on the front panel. A subscription is required in order to receive SIRIUS
Satellite Radio.

FM Tuner: You can tune stations either
manually or automatically. You are able to preset a total 40 stations using the auto tuning as well as the manual tuning function.

iPod Compatible: The YSP-4100 comes with the YIT-W10
wireless transmission system for iPod and iPhone. The YIT-W10 employs Yamaha's "yAired"
technology to establish a wireless connection with the YSP-4100 or other "yAired"
products. The YIT-W10 consists of the PDX-50TX wireless transmitter for iPod,
the PDX-50BC charging cradle, and an AC adapter. Through the PDX-50TX, you can
use the iPod as a remote control while listening to your iPod music, and
provides synchronized power on and off. The unit is compatible with the
following iPods:

iPod classic

iPod 5th generation

iPod touch

iPod nano

iPhone

iPhone 3G

Note: The iPod 4th generation and iPod mini will play
and charge using the wireless transmitter, however, you cannot remotely
change the volume with the iPod.

Wireless Subwoofer Kit: The YSP-4100 includes the SWI-W10
Wireless Subwoofer Kit, which also uses "yAired" technology to allow you to
wirelessly connect an optional powered subwoofer. There's no need to run a long
subwoofer cable from the Digital Sound Projector. Just connect your subwoofer to
the SWI-W10, and the sub receives the LFE signal wirelessly.

Installation:
The
YSP-4100 has four threaded mounting holes on the back for an optional wall-mount
bracket (item number 022SPMK30). It can also be placed on a
shelf or a stand. Positioning can be parallel to a wall or in a corner. The only
major requirement is the room must have side and rear walls for beam reflection
to create the surround effect.
Note:
Although the unit is shielded, Yamaha recommends not placing it directly on top
of a CRT tube TV.

HDMI:
There are four HDMI inputs and an HDMI monitor output on the rear panel. The
YSP-4100 supports resolutions up to 1080p via HDMI and HDMI-control when
connected to a compatible TV. Analog video inputs (composite or component video)
can be scaled and output at up to 1080p from the HDMI output. The HDMI
connections also support Deep Color, x.v.Color, Auto Lip-Sync, and CEC
functionality.

Multi-brand Remote Control: The receiver comes with a
multi-brand wireless remote control. In addition to this unit, the remote can
control multiple brands of cable boxes, satellite receivers, TVs, VCRs, and DVD
players.

UniVolume: The UniVolume function adjusts the volume level
of the TV so that it will not increase suddenly whenever the contents being
broadcast change due to commercials. It should be turned off when listening to
music.

Volume Trim:
The level of each input can be adjusted so the volume remains the same when
switching from one input to another.

Dimmer:
The display can be dimmed manually or set to dim automatically if no operation
is performed for a specified period.

Maximum Volume Level:
You can set a maximum volume so the unit can not be turned up beyond that point.

YSP 4100

Written By Joe, Souyhport, NC on Friday, December 28, 2012

Purchased to accompany new tv and avoid hassle of installing multiple speakers. Setup was easy and calibration process improved performance. Used an existing powered subwoofer from Polk system with the included SWK W10 wireless subwoofer kit. Cable and DVD sound quality was only adequate. Sound would be inadequate without the subwoofer. Surround sound performance was definitely not on a par with a much less costly 6 speaker system. The product packaging was sub par and the first unit arrived damaged. Crutchfield quickly replaced the unit. Packaging of second unit was also damaged inside the box but unit was ok. Wireless subwoofer kit stopped working after a couple months. Speaker itself is fine, Yamaha customer service regarding SWK W10 was very poor. Waited 1/2 hr for tech. Put me on hold a number of times before dropping the call and not calling back. One hour total phone time. Replied to Yamaha Service quality request twice. Yamaha never responded to my evaluation.

Pros:Easy set up.

Cons:Overpriced for performance. Unacceptable service give cost of product. Firmware update process requires making an audio cd that may or may not work with your blue ray or dvd player.

YSP-4100

The YSP-4100 was my second choice. I was originally looking at a B&W Panorama sound bar for about $1000 more. A friend finally convinced me that the Yamaha was the buy for the price point. He was right. The B&W didn't support 3-D sound, which the Yamaha does. With the optional sub-woofer, it's a phenomenal sounding 5:1 system. I couldn't be happier.

Pros:All in one. Super easy to use automatic settings programmer, firmware upgrades available. Works great with Logitech's Harmony remotes.

Cons:Firmware upgrades are difficult to install. (on-line documentation is difficult to locate) (Mine came without the 3D pass through support, which was a firmware update)
